Sadly, there will never be another game like Ultima Online. If you had the time, skill, and resources, you could build a legendary and truly powerful character like this. Star Wars: Galaxies came close in the beginning, but died a horrible death at the hands of Sony. The only thing that even comes close today is Eve Online. Ever since WoW took MMOs mainstream, the entire genre has been diluted into cookie-cutter characters, roles, and progression.

Great response, and dead accurate in my opinion. Women who enter male dominated fields come in two varieties:

Alpha Fem: Smart, works her ass off, potential future CEO. She gives two shits about the fact that she's a woman and doesn't expect any different treatment. Beta Fem: Lazy, good for nothing complainer. Someone is always out to get them or someone else gets special treatment they didn't get. Goes to HR twice a week to bitch and moan. There is no middle ground.

The absolute worst is when Beta Fem gets promoted to management. Had a female boss once who used to work on the factory floor, but her leg was crushed by one of the machines. Company basically gave her a payoff and a cushy job for life just so she wouldn't sue them into bankruptcy. OMG she was the worst. Power tripping micromanager who couldn't do any of our jobs, let alone hers. They actually had a department VP who basically did all the real work this cunt was supposed to do but couldn't (or wouldn't).

I only ever got 6/8, and I'm a Founder. Could never get into the Inquisitor or Councillor story lines or play style enough to finish those classes. Did BH and SW 4 times each, Agent twice, smuggler and trooper twice.

Epstein was first arrested in 2008 and served very little time, considering his crimes. Never mind the 2006 FBI investigation into Epstein's antics that never saw the light of day because it got shot down with by NPA (non-prosecution agreement). Epstein didn't bat an eyelash at any of this because he was getting sweetheart deals from his political cronies.

He gets arrested again under Trump's administration and he's on suicide watch before the investigation can really even begin. Dies of "suicide" anyway. Why?

Epstein had no fear the first time around. He had dirt on those in power, so he basically got away with it. He would've taken them all down with him, so he walked - and he knew he would walk. This time, because he didn't have anything on Trump, he knew it was time to pay the piper. He was going to go down hard and he knew those in power would be trying to silence him because he would take them down with him. So he feared for his life. And now he's dead.

How the leftwing nutjobs can't connect the dots on this one totally baffles me. Full TDS on display.

Uncle Bernie is just pandering to his base. Free education and legal weed hits home with the only demographic he's popular with: college kids.

Pro tip: Uncle Bernie has 0 chance of winning the DNC primary. All he's doing is rallying your support and hoping to transfer it to the eventual nominee. Don't be a sheep. He sold you out in 2016 and he'll do it again in 2020.

This is the largest mass shooting in American history and it occurred in 2017. We know very little about Stephen Paddock and there has never been a solid narrative and timeline put together. Less than a week removed from the El Paso and Dayton shootings, and we know a lot more. Just for perspective.

I'm convinced that Paddock was an FBI spook, probably a gun runner. Vegas is a great place to launder money and fits with Paddock's lifestyle. The Sauds own the top floors of Mandalay Bay, and there are rumors that the prince was in town that night - so there may have been an assassination plot that went bad. Maybe there was a gun buy? Maybe Paddock was set up to be a patsy or participate?

Whatever it is, we'll never know. Just look at how the media reacts to any shooting, but they went to sleep on this one. One guy, who probably wasn't even the real security guard, goes on Ellen of all things and that's it? That's the end of it? Way too many unanswered questions.

The 2016 election was supposed to be more of a coronation than anything. Longtime DNC sufferer, Hillary Clinton, stayed by her husband's side through numerous scandals. For the good of the party, she stepped aside when a popular black guy came out of nowhere and became President for another 8 years. 2016 was supposed to be Hillary Clinton collecting her due. It was OWED to her. And then she got curb stomped by an orange billionaire playboy with goofy hair.

And every day since, for going on 4 years, there has been a constant screech from the media and liberal elite across the country.

I agree with that. It also helps that there is a big farming community in Ohio and a lot of manufacturing. All tend to lean right. I live in one of the ruby red counties... Can't even remember the last time a Democrat held office here.

Ohioan here - Dayton is about 30 minutes from me. The city is a cesspool of crime, violence, and corruption. Constant problems with the teacher's union and a poorly run local government. The Oregon District is a historic downtown area that is full of restaurants and bars. You can travel by foot to several locations and there's often more activity outside on the patio areas and sidewalks than inside. It's fairly crowded on the weekends and heavily patrolled by police. They took the shooter out in about 60 seconds. The shooter would've known that this was a suicide mission, hence the body armor.

See this 2016 voting map? Dayton is red. Despite a cucked Dem-run local government, this area is still relatively conservative. This kind of stuff just doesn't happen around here. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but something stinks to high heaven.

TL;DR: Reddit will keep this sub quarantined indefinitely. At a bare minimum, it won't be lifted until after the 2020 election.

They won't ban the sub - that would be a win for us because of all the bad press they'd receive. Reddit wants to give the impression that we wouldn't comply with "standards," which means they'll just keep raising the bar. If we stay quarantined, they win. The only option IMHO is to close up shop and move to a different platform.

It's pretty clear that Reddit is a leftist echo chamber. Let them have it.

The radical left made a concerted effort in the 60's to take over the media - and they've done it. It was in their socialist playbook, and now they control the narrative and it's distribution. This goes way beyond CNN and social media. It's everything, right down to publishing houses that print children's books and school textbooks.

This is not news. We know this and have allowed it to happen. It IS happening. So what's the next step? Because after 2024, there isn't another Donald Trump who will stand up to them.

I'm curious to hear about your table saw tapering jig. I've seen that thing on Amazon and it's about $30. Honestly, it looks unsafe to me. Other tapering jigs sit on a sled and hold the piece down with clamps - but those are in the $100 price range.
